In patch 7.1.5, you'll get to join the denizens of Azeroth in a new journey back in time to the days of the lifting of the mists—Timewalking is coming to the islands of Pandaria.For players at level 91 and higher, this means a new Bonus Event every few weeks that operates very much like other Timewalking Bonus Events to Outland, Northrend, and Cataclysm.A Return to PandariaWhen you queue up for this new round of Timewalking, you'll find yourself heading into:

Rising high above the east coast of Pandaria, the Temple of the Jade Serpent stands as a sacred monument to the legendary pandaren emperor Shaohao's victory over the Sha of Doubt thousands of years ago. Recently, a disastrous conflict in the Jade Forest unleashed the sha, and several of the entities have raided the temple's most treasured stores of wisdom and knowledge.

When Chen Stormstout arrived in the Valley of the Four Winds, he journeyed to the renowned brewery of his namesake, hoping to connect with his relatives. What he found was his ancestral home in disarray. Under the watch of the incompetent Uncle Gao, loathsome virmen and unruly hozen have infiltrated the brewery, sparking a destructive revel that will soon devastate the region's supply of tasty brews.

War has spread across Pandaria, and the destructive conflict between the Horde and Alliance has led to turmoil in the majestic . There, three malevolent entities--the Sha of Violence, the Sha of Hatred, and the Sha of Anger--have erupted from their prisons. Although the Sha of Anger fled the secluded monastery completely, the remaining sha have begun wreaking havoc on the site's brave defenders.

The ancient is the last true bastion of mogu strength on mainland Pandaria. Three of their great clans recently gathered at this stunning location to meet with their king, Xin the Weaponmaster. This mighty ruler has formulated a bold plan to unite his scattered people and reclaim the glory of their fallen empire. With turmoil gripping Pandaria, Xin's lofty dream of conquest could become reality.

Niuzao Temple extends across two fortified islands far beyond a towering wall called the Serpent's Spine. For years, tenacious pandaren defenders have protected the narrow bridges connecting the isles, staving off any would-be invaders. Yet recently, the mantid created their own bridge--a massive tree root--and seized one of the islands by surprise. Now, these brutal insectoids are poised to assault Niuzao's remaining guardians.

For generations, a massive wall called the Serpent's Spine has protected the denizens of Pandaria from periodic assaults by the rampaging, insect-like mantid. This brutal race's cycle of aggression recently began earlier than expected, catching the wall's defenders off guard. As the mightiest mantid warriors charge the battle-worn gates, Pandaria must hold back the most devastating army in the land's recorded history.Timeless RewardsThere's a new Timewalking Vendor on the Timeless Isle. is waiting to take your hard earned s in exchange for all sorts of wondrous rewards:

That's right-- this will be the first Timewalking Bonus Event to include pets as rewards. Both of the new pets have a new ability for pet battles: , which significantly reduces the speed of the enemy team.You won't want to miss this opportunity to earn valuable reputation with Pandaria factions while challenging dungeons. Every Mists of Pandaria faction holds handsome rewards for players who maximize reputation with them. For example, you'll be able to obtain Commendations for Emperor Shaohao from , which could lead to a (mount) or (toy) for you. If you haven't yet maximized your rep with Golden Lotus, there are Riding Crane mounts in your future!You've Got ScaledAs with other Timewalking Bonus events, when you queue up for Pandaria dungeons, your power and defenses will be scaled down to appropriate levels for those dungeons on Heroic difficulty. When you defeat bosses in Mists of Pandaria Timewalking, you'll receive loot that scales with your level, up to item level 830—perfect for characters who are gearing up in Legion dungeons.Encounters such as in or Taran Zhu in will once again put you and your party to the test.We can't wait to see you there!

Prestige Bug

Ornyx

Heya,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. There was a bug with players who reached Honor Level 50, Prestige Level 4 where honor earned was still being accumulated past the cap. When the Prestige Level was increased yesterday, the accumulated honor was applied and the character progressed through those new Prestige Levels.

The rewards were legitimately earned through playtime, however, so we won't be removing them. This bug should be fixed in 7.1.5, so that others in similar situations will earn those rewards immediately, and so that this will not affect future seasons.

Probably not. They likely retired it permanently once they swapped to the new set of rewards. There is a chance it might end up on the Black Market though I'd assume.

Hexos, a fan favorite? Don't you mean one of the most likely targets of player made voodoo dolls? Ahoo'ru is right at the top of that list too.

Hexos and Ahoo'ru gave me some strong night terrors the very first season of brawlers when I hit rank 10. That Mushan of mine was ridden everywhere for awhile.

Hexos was a lot easier in the Warlords version(he didnt one shot), and ahoo'ru was perfectly put as the last boss.

Glad that blizz is still letting people get their items with the prestige bug. I always love a good bug, and they did technically earn the rewards, i was wondering why people were already prestige 7 or 8 on tuesday.

Hexos is what made me finally get a mouse to play with instead of my trackpad, it was horrible, but at least it's more skill-based than Ahoo'ru, which is basically spirit RNG
